Well I guess you had to be there Such a different place I was cruising along Never thinking that we'd ever change Yea I guess you had to be there It was a hell of a ride Lines were blurried and hurried But it felt like the stars had aligned (Chorus) We were sharing a new day Singing a new song And everyone's problems Were suddenly gone Everything I ever wanted Is right before my face And all the beautiful people Were always at my place Well I guess you had to be there All we wanted was more There were winners and losers And people passed out on my floor And you know you should have called me For that real good time Guess you miss some of the gold When you're too busy chasing the shine (Chorus) We were sharing a new day Singing a new song And everyone's problems Were suddenly gone Everything I ever wanted Was right in front of my face 'Cause all the beautiful people Were always at my place We were sharing a new day Sipping on a new wine And everyone's problems Were suddenly mine When all you ever wanted Is right in front of your face It starts as a good thing Turns into a headache
